To continue my learning of the XNA framework, I took the Beginners Guide to 3D Gaming from http://creators.xna.com/en-US/education/gettingstarted/bg3d/chapter1. 3D game develop is similar to 2D in the way the code interacts, but more complexity is added when adding another dimension.
My First 3D Game
OTV Miner (cont.)
Continued work on the my semester long project with Les Laurell of the OTV Miner. My goals for the second part of this project were:
Each link of this report will outline in detail the steps taken in order to accomplish these goals.
Full Game in Action
After implementing all the desired actions for Project 2 and combining them with Project 1, the game screen starts to get very active. The screenshot above is a snap-shot of a game in the middle of the action. On our final project, Les and I will combine all of our work and add a few new features to make a complete game. In my projects, I am only using on screen, Les has designed a multi-screen version that will spread the action around and hopefully eliminate the cluttered screen look.
The OTV Miner is coming along as expected. I am excited on to get together with Les in the coming weeks and combine our projects. I plan on launching our complete game on my XBOX and maybe even uploading it to the XBOX Live Marketplace.
